Meaning car companies will either need to start making vehicles people can afford or the public pressure for public transportation will massively increase. Win-win.
Not true.
He can’t prevent anyone that received the code under the GPL from using (and distributing it) under the old license. He also can’t relicense code that he received under the GPL only under the new license.
If he receives a new license from the other contributors to distribute under a more restrictive license, he can do that because he has a dual license to the code and is not relying on the GPL for his right to distribute.
While you’re waiting, may I suggest Nethack?

They’ve spent literal decades building puns into the game, among other silliness.
There are even Discworld inspired elements to the game, including monsters and even an entire character role - the Tourist.
Edit: Sorry, didn’t catch what community this was, and commented before reading the article (yes, I should know better). I had assumed it was going to be a computer game, rather than tabletop.

7, if you count the large central one, but no way I’m coming up with 9.
Gonna have to disagree with #3 - stopping Vim is not necessary for this. There’s the builtin :!

not being released until next year.
Don’t forget /auto, for things that get automatically mounted when you first access them (autofs)
Yes, it’s legal in much of the US. Many states require a permit for concealed carry, but not for open carry. WalMart has signs at the front of the store “requesting” people not to open carry, but apparently not prohibiting it.
The opposite headline would have been more true. This ruling DOES disenfranchise those very same voters for state and local elections.
They won’t get to vote on little things like who draws the voting districts, who runs the elections, who certifies (or refuses to certify) the elections. Same for who decides on school book bans, policing priorities, medicaid expansion, or mask bans.
This may be a smaller loss than expected, but painting it as a win is disingenuous.
Easy. You either set it up as a nonprofit (still not great in terms of incentives) or, better, as a consumers (or members) cooperative.
Alternatively, you don’t - you modify the incentives. Agency sets a one time, lifetime membership fee. Every failed match they set you up with refunds you a percentage of the balance.
Let’s assume it’s a $1000 membership, 5% refund.
First match works out? They keep the $1000 First match fails? You get $50 back. Second fails? You get another $47.50 (2% of the remaining $950) By match #45, you’ve been refunded 90% and they’re still holding less than $100.
This strongly incentivizes the agency to make the best possible match as quickly as possible. Users aren’t incentivized to join fraudulently because they’ll never get more out than they put in. The agency has no reason to create fake profiles, since a bad match costs them money.
This incentive structure is designed for long-term, monamorous relationships. It fails to account for poly relationships. People using it for short term hook-ups would settle over time into #2 below.
After a certain number of bad matches, it’s not worth it to the agency to put any effort into making a good match. Since they make the most money on early matches, their incentive is to connect the most “desirable” candidates with new members. People with more failed matches will most likely be connected to … other people with more failed matches.
Arguably, this is a feature not a bug. For new members, it means they don’t get spammed by long-time members that are hard to get along with or not actually looking for a long term relationship. For the ones that the early match algorithms didn’t work put for, it means they’ll at least get exposed to different groups of people over time - including others that failed to match for similar reasons as themselves.
This would not do wonders for their reputation and is probably not a good long term strategy for them - at least on the early matches. After a certain number of failures though, it might be an effective way to cut losses.
Which is again, not what they’re suggesting. This article was about putting the panels above the road

No, you wee right the first time. It’s 27 times as big, or 26 times bigger
That would be true for competent web developers. Unfortunately, those are a vanishingly small subset.
Not completely ignoring - I assume that was the swipe about “only engages in genocide reluctantly” was about.
Myself, I agree with you that we haven’t seen much sign of that reluctance.
That is not accurate.
The two states that applied to both pushed back their deadlines explicitly to accommodate the Democratic National Convention - so yes, it’s still open.
